Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks) 🧈
- 1 cup brown sugar 🍯
- 1 stack of Saltine crackers 🥨
- 1 lb. white almond bark, melted 🍫
- ½ package red candy melts ❤️
- ½ package pink candy melts 💕

Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the baking sheet:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Arrange the Saltine crackers evenly on the tray.
2️⃣ Make the caramel layer:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar together.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly for 5 minutes until it thickens.
- Pour the caramel evenly over the crackers, making sure they are all coated.
3️⃣ Bake the base:
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
- The caramel should be bubbling and slightly darkened.
4️⃣ Prepare the chocolate topping:
- While the crackers are baking, melt the almond bark, red candy melts, and pink candy melts separately in the microwave (follow package instructions).
- Once the cracker layer is out of the oven, pour the melted white chocolate evenly over the top.
- Drizzle the red and pink candy melts over the white chocolate.
- Use a fork or spatula to create a swirled effect for a beautiful design.
5️⃣ Add the finishing touches:
- While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle Valentine’s sprinkles over the top.
- Let the candy cool completely at room temperature (or place it in the fridge to set faster).
6️⃣ Break & serve:
- Once fully cooled, break into smaller pieces and enjoy!
- Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
Notes
- More crunch? Add chopped pretzels or nuts before the chocolate sets. 🥜
- Want it extra sweet? Drizzle milk or dark chocolate over the top. 🍫
